In the Vocabulary of Comics and from the video's on Ways of Seeing, we are shown how we associate meanings to pictures directly with ourselves. This reflects onto recent online parlance with the popularity of User-comments and ratings by others on websites, blogs, videos etc. Why then (mostly in academia) are we constantly asked to be objective about viewing art, news, advertisements, movies etc.?
Who gives these meanings to icons? How do they become important over time?
Placement and reproduction is very important and crucial to how we view our world. Media is known to manipulate this characteristic and ends up having a lot of control and power over the masses. If you were given a chance, what would you change in media today?
